OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. 0,--The depart
ment of customs has been apprised of Il
trick which has just been played on the
American authorities by the captain OF
the Alfred Adams, Il British Columbia
sealing schooner. The Adams was seized
in Behring sea last month by the United
States regenue cutter Rush, and her seal
skins and fishing tackle taken away. A
prize crew was put on board and the cap
tain was ordered to navigate the schooner
to Sitka. The captain seemingly obeyed
for time, bpt after having parted com
pany with the Rush, co0lly beaded the
Adams for Victoria, British Columbia,
where she arrived few days ago. The
prize crew coull do nothing 10 compel the
captain to proceed to Sitka, as it is under
stood to have consisted Of only two men,
and the crew OF the Adams not having
been removed was too strong for them.

on the public road about five miles from
Prosperity, Newbery county. Both men
were white farmers. Saddler bad threat
ened Wise's life and told a neighbor a
few DAYS ago that he intended TO eut Joe
Wise to pieces. Sadllcr met Wise in his
wagon and halted him and asked him ii
he had been told of his threat. Wise re-
Piled in the affirmative, whereupon Sad
dler advanced upon him with long knife
open in his right hand, and a heavy stick
in the left. Wise then drew pistol and
shot saddler dead in the road. Saddler
was a desperate character and bore bad
reputation He had served a term in the
penitentiary for horsestealing.

known in this place where he formerly
resided. Mr.. ID. still remains at Fort

Free Trade.

The reduction ofinternal revenue and
the taking off Of revenue stamps from
Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has
largely benefited the consumers, as well
as relieving the burden of home manu-
facturers. Especially is this the case with
Green's August Flower and Boschee's
German Syrup, as the reduction of
thirty-six cents per dozen, has been
added to increase the size Of the bottles
containing these remedies, thereby give
Ing one-fifth more medicine in the rs
cent size. The August Flower for
dyspepsia and liver complaint, and tn
German Syrup for cough and lung
troubles. have perhaps, the largest sale
of any medicines in the world. The adj
vantage Of increased size Of the bottles
will be greatly appreciated by the sick
and afflicted, in every town and village
in civilized countries. Sample bottles
for 10 cents remain the same size.

Away back in 80 DR.. Flick took up a
ranch in Custer county located on land
the survey of which had been rejected.
Since that time he has continued to
make Improvements and reside on the
claim at intervals, until last year, when
the improvements amounted to several
thousand dollars. During the doctors
absence in 1886 Oscar Huff, thinking
continuous residence necessary to hold
unsurveyed land, such it virtually is,
moved on, erected a good, substantial
residence and still lives there. Last
spring DR.. Flick, through Attorney
Wood, began an ejectment suit in the
district court which has not yet been
tried. Mr.. Huff planted a crop Of grain
and built a high board fence around the
doctors barn and was preparing to get
tho drop on the place gradually, when
an injunction was secured to stop him
from interfering with the original i'm
provements or making any others Of
his own. Some days since, through his
attorney, he made application to have
this injunction dissolved, the argument
upon which point al to have been
made before Judge Thomas on the
twenty-sscond instant, but a fatal tech
nical error was made in the notice serv-
ed on Chauncey Wood, no place being
mentioned where the court would be
held. This flaw was detected by Mr..
Wood and he failed to appear, but the
application was dismissed just the same.
and DR.. Flick is feeling much better
now. There are some instructive and
novel questions involved in this case,
and it's decision will be awaited with
much interest. The main point is
whether anyone else under the sun,
other than Sparks, has anything to say
about the occupancy Of the pubic
domain.-Journal. 1.

B. & M.

On Monday morning the B. & NJ. sur
veyors' car arrived in this city over the
F., E. NJ. V. railroad, and was side
tracked. The party Of surveyors on
board were very conservative and said
but little to any one. Several strangers
who had been in town for a number of
days previous. whom no one knew any
thing about, and who had spent their
time in running about the country inn
mediately contiguous to our city, were
the first ones at the depot to meet the
party of surveyors, and were well ac-
quainted with them, and, in fact, we're a
party Of b. q M. ~prospectors. The new
arrivals unloaded here and leased a
building on Second street for the storing
Of their outfit, and Immediately harness
ed their stock and struck out circling
the country. After the party had been
IN the city some little time, one OF the
gentlemen with them, dropped, here
and there, accidentally a word or two
that put together means a great deal.
From all that We have been able to
pick mp after quite an extensive Still
hunt" we have found that they intend
surveying two routes through here and
then return and report to their superior
officers. Ifthey give anywhere near an
honest report Of the lay of this country,
Buffalo Gap will surely have the b. &
M. road before next summer is over.
